Adolf Hitler in Religious Surroundings: Is There Really Evidence That the Führer Was a Christian?
no-pasaran ^

Posted on 12/26/2012 3:21:27 PM PST by virgil283

"On Christmas Eve, No Pasarán posted an article giving evidence that Adolf Hitler wanted to replace Christianity with the "religion" of National Socialism. A couple of readers have taken issue with this and, between them, they offer more than a dozen photos of der Führer or other Nazi leaders in religious settings in order to show, apparently, that Christianity was an integral element in the Nazis' seizure of power and in their scheme of power proper. So let us take an in-depth, dispassionate look at the evidence they bring......."

A little off topic, but I doubt any historian would argue about Hitlers animosity to Christianity, in particular the Catholic Church, and his unsuccessful attempt to replace Christianity with the Reichchurch, essential a pagan belief system with Christian symbiolism (spelled that wrong I bet). Largely unsuccessful, particularly amongst Catholics, forcing him to take the long term view via Hitler youth. And yes, I'm familiar with his relations with the Vatican, and the fact that Christians supported him just as they opposed him. Which doesn't change the fact that the thousand year Reich would have been pagan by the second or third generation.

After the butchery of young men in World War I, was a series of three plagues which afflicted young men and women as well. The first of these was the devastating Spanish flu, which is the worst modern plague, killing millions.

But it was followed with two far more enigmatic plagues, that were less common, but still devastating. The first was called “Encephalitis lethargica”, which left many people in a “waking coma”, and was depicted in the movie ‘Awakenings’, about a potential treatment found for these people many years later.

The third plague is the most enigmatic one of them all, of which very little is known. At the time it was called “brain fever”, and though it killed many, those that survived were known to experience deep paranoia and hate filled rages.

Adolf Hitler and many of the other Nazi leaders may have been afflicted with this brain fever, and the disease might have been instrumental in the creation in some of their aggressive and murderous political doctrines.

Added to this the strong decline of religion in Europe for many years, along with philosophies that despised it, makes it far less likely that Hitler saw Christianity as little more than just another system to subvert to the support of the state.

Hitler was a pantheist, not a Christian. He believed that Nature was god. Before the crowds, he used the term “Lord” but he meant pantheism. Hitler’s Table Talk, written in the 1940’s, which records his private conversations with his own henchmen, is actually more riddled with anti-Christian sentiments than anti-Semitism. Comments such as the following are very abundant in Hitler’s Table Talk, “I promise you that if I wanted to I could destroy the Church in just a few years. It is hollow, it is rotten and false through and through. One push and the whole structure would collapse. We should trap the preachers by their notorious greed and self indulgence. We shall thus be able to settle everything with them in perfect peace and harmony. I shall give them a few years’ reprieve. Why should we quarrel? They will swallow anything in order to keep their material advantage. The parsons will be made to dig their own graves; they will betray God for us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable jobs and incomes.”

You have to have an IQ in the single digits, have never heard of Hitler or Christianity, or be such a dyed in the wool Leftist that you will believe absolutely ANYTHING as long as it is against all that is good or true to believe that Hitler was a Christian!

Check yourself into a clinic if you REALLY think that Hitler was anything like a Christian and read the New Testament a couple hundred times so that you can achieve at least some grasp of reality.

Hitler killed the Jews and the Christians were next. Hitler made a phony bible to promote his twisted views.

If Hitler said that he was a Catholic, it would’ve been that same as if he had said that he was an oak coffee table. You can say anything, but that doesn’t make it true.

Obama claims to be a Christian, yet he favors the muslims and listened to “Rev” Wright’s racist, ungodly, anti-American evil feckless ramblings for years.

You are so right. And more than that, Hitler was the creature of Dietrich Eckhart, a homosexual satanist.

Some photos, huh? It would be a lot more convincing if you could show me what Christian principles Hitler lived by. And hating the Jews doesn’t make one a good Christian.

I don’t think he was big into Love Thy Neighbor or Turn the Other Cheek.

No, if you look closely at the photos he took with Bush and Romney, his fingers were crossed. Makes all the difference.

I once spoke to a Rastafarian, does that make me a Rastafarian?

If Hitler was a Christian, he wasn’t a very good one.

Let me inquire of your Celtic second sight and ask that if Hitler were pictured in a garage, would he then be considered a Buick?

Other than that, I hope you are feeling better.

There’s evidence Hitler wasn’t a Christian. It was that pesky genocide thing.

There may be more evidence that the German Fuhrer was a Christian, than the Amerikan Fuhrer is.

There is no definition of Christian that would include the adult Hitler.
